Hidden Strike
SCORE: 69
On one of the movie nights for me and the boys I decided to pick
Hidden Strike. All I knew about this movie that lasts one hour and
forty-three minutes is it starred Jackie Chan and John Cena. I thought
that is a very interesting combination. I had visions in my head of what
could happen in that kind of a movie. Hidden Strike hit all of those
high notes and more. It is like this movie made sure to play to the
strengths of both of the stars. There will be spoilers in this review.
Jackie Chan plays "Dragon" Luo Feng in Hidden Strike. John Cena plays
Chris Van Horne in Hidden Strike. The plot is a bit on shaky ground for
me. The Chinese are sending in their elite unit to save their people at
an oil refinery in the desert. They are abandoning this major facility
because they are being attacked by rebels. The main bad guy actually
works for this company and is trying to steal all this oil.
Chris Van Horne joins his brother in a raid to get this professor so
they can turn it back on. They need her code and some device to plug
into the equipment. Why the security measures if they are leaving this
area anyways? Why not try to defend this area against the rebels? Hidden
Strike left me with some plot questions that made little to no sense to
me. There is plenty of action in Hidden Strike.
The issues families can have with Hidden Strike are violence, blood,
lack of attire, sexual comments, bad language and more. Things get
really disgusting in the bloopers that show at the start of the credits.
There are funny moments within Hidden Strike. How did Chris survive that
cliff near the end of the movie? How did the three of them get off the
middle of that cliff in Hidden Strike? Hidden Strike attacks and insults
Americans multiple times.
The John Cena versus Jackie Chan fight scene is exactly how I expected
it to be. Jackie uses his martial arts and improvisation to do some
damage. John uses his power and overrides many of the attacks. Many of
the flips do not work because John Cena can just use his strength and
power to stop it. Jackie Chan also has a great foam fight in Hidden
Strike. I never know what kind of a fight Jackie Chan will have in his
movies.
